Creating God,
who is making the heavens and the earth,
create within us a heart for your service
and hallow the prayers we offer before You.
Give us wisdom to seek truth, O Spirit of Hope,
and turn us away from sin and exploitation
to see the face of Jesus all around us.
Help us to eat our fill
of the honeyed loaves of your gospel, O Christ,
and drink deep of the cup of compassion,
that we may overturn the tables of enmity,
and scatter the bread of resentment and hatred
that has been placed before us by hollow tyrants.
Bear with us, O Merciful One,
and place your hand of blessing
over all for whom we pray.
Amen.
